I have strep b, its in my vagina with thrush aswell, they either give you IV antibiotics while your giving birth or they give you a c section, my doctor told meit can sometimes not be good for the baby, but it depends on where the infection is, best to ask you GP

& My Mom Told ME That Only If You Weren't Treated When You're In Labor It Can Harm The Baby, The Baby Can Possibly Be Blind From The Bacteria If Delivered Regular

It's A Bacterial Infection In Your Urine. I Tested Positive For It But If You Do Or Believe You have It, Your Doctor Should Give You Antibiotics To Clear It Up Before It Gets worse. Most Pregnant Women Don't Realize They Do Like Me Until Your Appointments & They Ask You To Urinate In A Cup. Its Very Rare Though It's Said That Only A Few Women Get It During Pregnancy. Its Not An Std Or Anything It's Just Something About A Pregnant Women & The Changes In Her Body. You Can Look It Up Also For More Information.
